Sir,
This has reference to a spate of rapes, kidnappings, and murder of minor girls in may parts of the country including Jammu and Kashmir.
The matter does not end here.It depicts the levels of how moral and ethical bankruptcy has engulfed us. It shows how parents have failed their children in imparting moral values and good behaviour. Along with the boy , the parents too need to be arrested for bringing up children in such a careless and mannerless way that they can become a threat to the society .This incident in Hiranagar must stir our conscience, we should start introspecting right from our individual homes whether we are really caring about children and keeping them under careful watch of the parents and the teachers so that they do not turn out to be rapists, murderers, terrorists and cheats.
Yours etc…

Sir,
It is an undeniable fact that our society is badly affected by social crimes, which have snatched peace and satisfaction from our lives. The greatest tragedy is that the crime rate is increasing each and every moment at all levels: the local, state, national and international. Every morning, when I open newspapers, I find them filled with the news of murders, kidnappings, rapes, theft, etc. No doubt, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment are the major causes of such crimes. But, the environment we live in, also plays an effective role in social problems, because a person is neither good nor bad by birth. It is the environment which makes one better or worse. Whenever a person who is living around us smokes, drinks alcohol, abuses or commits any sort of sins, it gives a bad impression to others especially children. So, in order to make our society free of crimes, we extremely need to give up bad behaviour and guide our friends and children to the right path.
Yours etc….
